April 2022 Smalls Check In

For my small this month I finished up that little tiny bee project I shared with you a few months ago. I guess I put it aside and totally forgot it. I’m glad I remembered it as it only took 1/2 hour to finish up. That over one stitching with the hand spun/hand dyed silk was a bear. I will tell you I appreciate the hand made nature of it, but the silk being hand spun was a little lumpy and not super easy to stitch over one. Ah well it is done, and you can see I finished it into a thing.

It was supposed to be a pendant. I don’t really wear things like this, so I did put a magnet in it so it can be a needleminder. But then I wished I had cut off the loop at the top. Maybe it could be a fob instead. I don’t know, it’s just really cute and for now I just stuck on my lamp with a couple other cute magnetized things. Maybe it will move to my fridge eventually!

What Smalls did you finish this month? Thanks for linking up below!

  1. A cute little finish, and as a conifer is a parking table small particle.
    Happy Stitching, Martina

  2. This bee is very sweet, like his honey! I think a needleminder is a good idea, or maybe hang it from a long ribbon on a cupboard door?

  3. Thank you for hosting!
    I very rarely stitch with anything other than DMC, so can only compare your thread to the nightmare of when I stitch with metallics. Your little bee looks lovely and the lumps don’t show at all. 🙂
